Test a Condition that's Currently False?

I've written my first IF/ELSE rule and one of the IF conditions is only true between sunset and sunrise. Is there an easy way to test my rule while the sun is up?

A quick search didn't help me so apologies if this has been covered a bunch.

Thanks!

If you just want to test the actions inside the IF THEN, I would simply disable all other rule actions (check the box for each line in the "X"/disable column in the actions table), then use "Run Rule Actions" or a real trigger, whatever works best for your particular rule, to test.

You could also change your hub time and hope NTP doesn't re-sync during your testing, I guess, or change your location or time zone to somewhere where the criteria are met, but that seems more complicated. :smiley:

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the help. I assumed disabling part of the rule would break it but it worked out fine.

Eventually, I figured out I could reverse my condition with the NOT function and that worked too.

Thanks again.
